Future OPFOR

Requirements

•U.S. Weapon Systems

•Possess advanced guidance &
target seeking sensors.

•Require thermal, radar and
acoustic signatures

• C4I systems require realistic
OPFOR signatures.

OPFQR Modernization

Plan

•Field or simulate an array of
reliable, maintainable threat
capabilities that possess the
fidelity necessary to stimulate
advanced battlefield systems.

•This standardized OPFOR
capability will be supportable and
will have adequate life cycle to
train analog and digitized units
